The Castle Cannons
The Castle and Museum
Cannons displayed around the castle were brought here by the Italians from the fortress of Gjirokastra. They include both Norwegian and British guns. One of them, a British nine-pound naval cannon located at the center of the courtyard, was cast at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, London, and may have arrived in the region in 1809 as a gift for Ali Pasha of Tepelena.
